As always, I want to offer special thanks for Darren Smith, who has continued to help manage the blog and help out folks who encounter posting problems. I also want to thank our editor Kristin Oren, who continues her amazing work proofing posts on a daily basis to remove my embarrassing typos. I also wish to thank Hartwell Harrison for his effort to catch errors as well as others who alert me to typos or any violations of the civility or copyright policies on the blog.
We have continued to post significantly higher traffic numbers every month. Last month, we posted a 40% increase from the prior year, which itself set a record. It was also the second highest traffic of any month in the history of the blog (narrowly losing to December 2022). This month is on track to set another record for May and potentially could be the best month in our history.
So here is our current profile:
As of this morning, we have 21,260 posts and 1,265,722 comments. We have also continued our steady rise on Twitter and currently show roughly 486,000 followers. We have roughly 11,100 people who follow us on WordPress and 7,400 by direct emails (which you can subscribe to with the box on the right side of the blog home page).
